Very nice ged. Especially love the mini of course. However, the beautiful orange Ford escort (Mark 1?) could be my next love affair.

Nah... I don't think it more money that sense... I think it's just his time and setting up a challenge.
If he can restore that with sheet metal and a welding torch, I for one would be impressed at the skill and craftsmanship....:handclap:
If he just paid someone else to do it, then I would agree with the "more money that sense"...:)

Great pic's Ged....that E-Type would be my favourite!:nod:
-
I'd go for the Ferraris, a classic shape back then, and still modern looking now...:PDT11
The Ford Anglia brought back memories, but the one pictured looked a lot nicer than my old red one...:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Yes it is a Berkely but I'm sure they were powered by an Excelsior 350cc two stoke engine.Or maybe even a 325cc Excelsior.
A mate of mine shoehorned a 500ccBSA A7SS engine into one of them in the early 60s.
It almost ripped the tarmac off the road with the accelleration.:thumbsup:

I ended up Googling it,they used a variety of engines from British Anzani to the big 4 stroke twin royal Enfield which did 100 mph.
